Abstract
Extract The present year marks the hundredth anniversary of regular transatlantic steamship service. On April 23, 1838, two commercial steamships arrived in New York from England, one, the Great Western, initiating a regular service. In 1938 the anniversary received only scant notice in the newspapers of New York, but in 1838 the arrival, stay, and departure of the ships, with the attendant festivities and observations, were fully recorded in the press of the day.
